Idea stolen from skylight's NU thread, and I believe we're the last major metagame to have this thread, so I figured why not.
So now that X/Y are just around the corner (only a little more than a month until we get a whole new generation and things get shaken up). The generation 5 metagame is coming to a close, and we're looking into the future to see what X/Y brings us. But before that, i kinda want to backtrack for a second and look at the UU tier as a whole. UU has definitely gone through quite a few changes, and has had its highs and lows with suspect testing and tier changing and stuff, some people have been here from the very start, some people have only started with the tier a matter of months ago, and there are a whole bunch of people in between. Some people might have preferred some metagames to others, or might looks back fondly at the early stages of BW1 UU. So, i have a few questions for all of you, not all of them need to be answered, so if you don't have an opinion on something feel free to leave it out.
1) what metagames do you think were the best/most exciting/most balanced, why?
2) what metagames weren't exciting/good for you, and why?
3) what are some of the general highlights through the metagames you played
4) what are some of the metagame trends you've seen reflecting on your experience with UU?
5) what do you think was the single most dangerous Pokemon to ever be UU? why?
6) what was the toughest UU battle you've ever had, why was it so fun/challenging? do you have any logs/replays?
7) what got you into UU in the first place, why did you decide to choose to play the tier, why did you continue?
8) which Pokemon were you disappointed to see brought up to OU or BL?
9) which Pokemon did you view to be the most exciting drop from OU?
10) out of all the metagames you've ever played, what was your favorite? Why was it your favorite?
As for the final question, i might run a poll right before the start of Pokemon X/Y to see what everyone's favorite metagame was, feel free to discuss your reasoning on why a specific metagame was your favorite with the other users in this thread!
happy posting :)
